Re: Postcard Design


The $500 offer could definitely cause people to take notice.

What sort of success have you had with this type of thing in the past?

Very nice looking piece. My background before remodeling was advertising & marketing. I think we would all be interested in your results when available.

Re: Postcard Design


You guys is funny!

Looks awesome. That Keith does some nice stuff.

I'd change the $500 off to $5000 off.

There is plenty of work for all of us here and lots of competition here too anyways. I'd rather have 20 Kevins for every 1 Jose or Juan the lowballer hack running around. Guys like Kevin do great work and bring the entire industry and market higher with them. These are the types of companies you want as your peers.

Re: Postcard Design


DANG! that's the best looking AD I've EVER seen today!
I like the colors and the way you fit all those examples of your work without "cramping" the page!

If you could swing it with costs and whatnot I agree with the others Keep the savings coupon, it brings attention, even though if you ask most Homeowners they would say that there's a gimmick..like raising prices only to lower them...Still an offer always seems to WORK! SEX, FREE, and $$$ always grabs attention.

One thing I would ask though...somewhere I heard or read that to get people to act on something, they gotta hear (or see) something at least 3 times! do you think changing the AD will help?

I mean I know it would be nice to show off different aspects of your services, and that changing the "showroom" may reach the person interested in upgrading a room Other than a Kitchen or Bath, But, It might seem like another company all together!

What IF you combine services on one AD and then Hammer the same offer over and Over again?

Well, You already have this Very Nice Ad made ... so I'm probably no help...but just a thought.

It is a Really NICE Ad! Good luck!
